about me
I ride, therefore I am. I love being outside. This planet amazes me. I am stoked to be happy, healthy and currently thriving.
I am constantly fighting the lure of the Dark Side.
I try to stay positive but it's a struggle for me.
I love dogs way more than I like people. Most humans are idiots. (Except for you guys of course)
I didn't crawl my way to the top of the food chain to eat salad. I don't scream and bang on drums and call myself a musician. I don't splatter paint on canvas and call myself an artist. AND I don't spit kids outta my snatch and call myself a mother.
I spent 5 weeks back home in Ireland last year. It was a blast and then some.....many pints were sank, craic was had, mountains climbed, trails wandered, laughter and stories with old friends and new and reconnecting with my family. I missed being back home. Ireland is a special place.
Lately I've been playing my guitar a lot and riding a lot. Life IS better on two wheels.
I am strong, sassy and have a big heart,
I am loyal, hot tempered and smart.
I blaze my own trails, always.
I have faith that we all have the power to change our world by what we do every day, how we feel about our own side of the street.....I try to keep mine clean and serene!
I am a nerd and proud of it.
I am left handed.
My addiction to bacon, vitiman water and peanut M 'n' M's is worrying me.
I have three tattoos and would love more!
Love my ink.
My friends inspire me in ways I can't put into words.
I am alone a lot but not lonely.
Mind you I have been told I spend too much time on my own.
My recurring dream that I am a character on the Simpsons gives me cause for concern. Yellow is not my colour....
I have never worn make up - ever. Never bought lipstick, eyeshadow or that brown stuff with the goo in it.
I don't wear jewellery or high heels.
I do NOT dance.
Reggae and rave music make me gak.
Without a microwave and a coffee pot - I would be dead. I really LOVE my family.
My parents have been married for 44 years and that just amazes me.
I've been to and or lived in over 15 different countries.
I miss speaking French everyday....oui!
Black is my favourite color.
I am addicted to my bicycles.
I have broken way too many bones in my body - but my God was it worth it.
I am in love right now and it is an AMAZING feeling....that whole love thing, yeah!
I love the beach, playing with dogs, a juicy steak, sunsets, reading, laughing, singing, and ALWAYS RIDING.
Live Strong!
Take NO SHIT from anyone!
Be well, take care!
Really I just crave a quiet, simple life....

The time I think most clearly
the time I drift away
is on the bus ride
that meanders
up these valleys of green and grey.
I get to think about what might have been
and what may yet come true
and I get to pass the rainy mile
thinking of you.
And all the while, all the while
I still hear that call
to the land of gold and poison
that which beckons to us all.
Nothing changes here very much
you used to say it never will.
The pubs are all full on friday nights
and things get started still.
We spent hours last week with Billy-Boy
bleeding, yeah, queuing in casualty,
staring at those posters we used to laugh at,
Never-neverland, palm trees by the sea.
Well, there was no need for those boys to hurt him so bad
when all they had to do was knock him down.
But no one asks too many questions like that anymore
since you left this town.
And tomorrow brings another train,
another young brave steals away.
But you´re the one I remember
from these valleys of the green and the grey.
You used to talk about winners and losers all the time
as if that was all there was.
As if we were not of the same blood family,
as if we lived by different laws.
Do you owe so much less to these rain swept hills
than you owe to your good self?
Is it true that the world has always got to be something
that seems to happen somewhere else?
For God´s sake,
don´t you realize
that I still hear that call?
Do you think you´re so brave
just to go running
to that which beckons to us all?
No, not for one second
did you look behind you
as you were walking away.
Never once did you wish
any of us well,
those who had chosen to stay.
And if that´s what it takes to make it
in the place where you live today
then I guess you´ll never read one of these letters that I sent
from these valleys of the green and the grey.

Your first testimonial, given on the date of my birth, caught my attention. Reminding me to give thanks to you for being you, and allowing me to cherish the day we met.
Loving you my friend.......What's more to say? Sin Uile
